The DC Comics PG-13-rated full-length features have been a top selling franchise since their inception years ago, treating the lore of the comic books within the DC Universe with the respect and seriousness that they rightfully deserve. Comic book aficionados worldwide anxiously await the latest unveiling in the series' line-up, and today looks to be one of those days for rejoicing.

For fans of the Justice League, this is about as good as breaking news gets. The newest entry into the new DC Comics tradition will be focusing on the Justice League in what has been titled Justice League: Doom, which will be coming to both Blu-ray and DVD via the Combo Pack on February 28, 2012 from DC and Warner Home Video.

"Justice League: Doom has all the classic ingredients of a great super hero film – a cavalcade of dynamic villains, internal strife amongst our heroes, treacherous twists and turns, and a cast that brings together some of today's popular primetime television actors with many of the fans' favorite voices from the original series," said Hersin Magante, Warner Home Video Marketing Director, Family & Animation. "I think fans will embrace Dwayne's McDuffie's final DCU script, particularly as it has been nuanced by Bruce Timm and the Warner Bros. Animation team. Warner Home Video is proud to distribute Justice League: Doom as the next DC Universe Animated Original Movie."

You can anticipate that the Blu-ray Combo Pack will cost $24.98 at MSRP and the DVD will ring up for $19.98. A wealth of bonus materials will be available on the Combo Pack, such as these:
